Built in Amarillo, Texas, in 1937, the J. Marvin Jones Federal Building and Mary Lou Robinson United States Courthouse is a striking example of Art Deco and Moderne architecture designed by Wyatt C. Hedrick. Originally serving as the Amarillo U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, the building has maintained continuous use as a courthouse for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas while also functioning as a customhouse and government office. The structure was renamed in 1980 to honor U.S. Court of Claims judge John Marvin Jones, and received its present dual designation in 2018 in recognition of federal judge Mary Lou Robinson. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
